H. мітіром, Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined. Arbor subglabra. 
Folia alterna, pinnata ; foliola 5 rarius 7, opposita cum impari distante, 
2-3-polliearia, ovalia v. oblonga, coriacea, supra nitida. Stipule 
lineares, caduce. Panicule in ramis aphyllis semipedales, laxe.

Hab. Brazil, prov. Alagoas (Gardner, n. 1274) ; Venezuela, on the Rio 
Uaupés, near Panuré, Spruce, n. 2870. 
The flowers are nearly those of Andira Amazonum, the fruit very dif- 
ferent from that of an Andira. 
A number of pods picked up by Mr. Spruce on the shores of the upper 
Rio Negro may be those of a second species of this genus, but the 
attached calyx is rather different, and the foliage and flowers are quite 
* unknown.
